I have a pelowook handcarved walrus tusk crib board excellent condition, would like to sell, if you know of any leads please let me know. scott
Four 15s from 4 5s is simple. Put the 4 5s in front of you. Lift one of the 5s up. This leaves 3 5s making a 15. Repeat this procedure with each different 5. When you have finished this procedure you will have clearly seen 4 different 15s in front of you.
The set you missed is SHD

ecribbage.com is one of the more popular sites out there. They run tournaments every couple of hours and there are normally people online to play nearly 24 hours a day. You will need to set up a free account with them by choosing a username and password and make sure you have the correct java version. You can also pay a yearly fee (which is quite reasonable) which opens up a lot of functions to the site. I personally prefer ecribbage.com to gamecolony.com. It seems to be more fun, the players and their chatting is monitored for abuse and problem players are kicked out or suspended. Almost all players are polite. Just follow the instructions on screen to start playing. There are also greeters there that can help you out.
There are no games to be played here Larry. I would try ecribbage.com or gamecolony.com for online games against other people. There are several apps and sites where you can play a computer.
Yes, as stated before on several posts, that run scores 6 points...add a 7 and it scores 7.
Yes you do. Assuming you have no runs in your five-card flush, you peg five for the flush and one for Nobs for six.
the play went like this 4,3,5,6,1 and then a 2. Does the 2 make this a count of 6 for a run?
Master cribbage player would like to play but can't figure out the damn website?
How do you sign onto this site to play!
If I have 4 of the same suit including the jack and that suit is cut, I score 5 for my flush but do I score an additional point for having the right jack?
Keep pegging Gene! Most people learn the game from a family member and it is a great way to teach and stay connected. There are many clubs popping up all over the country and into Canada as well. Look into one for you and your family.
If you hold a jack that is the same suit as the turn card (up-card), no matter where it is...score one point. Works in the crib and in the hand the same way.
Hope you took 5 points for the run of five there. Looks like you guys played it perfectly.
Correct. Any 'unbroken' runs are worth one point per card, so the answer is yes, the player who played the 4 gets the five points.
If the play goes 3-2-5-6-4, in that order, would the player who played the 4 get a run of 5??
Thanks:-)
In a two person game, the winner has 121 the loser has either 59 or 89 pts. My father started teaching me when I started school and I have played every since lam 68yrs. This is very good math game for me helping my grandchildren. Thank you
I have played for years and never had a 29 hand.
A friend of mine had one in his lifetime and he has played much longer than I have. He lost the game. He ended in the last hole.
Can you count nobs in the crib?
If I laid a 4, my husband laid a 3, my daughter-in-law laid a 5, she counted 3 points, then my son followed through with a 6 and counted 4 pts. I then laid a 2. so it was 4,3,5,6 and 2. Does that count or was there any mistakes throughout this play?
Hitting 31 exactly at any time is really getting one point for a go (since your opponent cannot play) and a bonus point for a total of two points. That is the same when the last card played equals 31. You only get 2 points. Remember that 'last card' is really only a go because your opponent cannot play. You already get that when you hit 31.
If you have cards in your hand that you can play on the way to 31, you MUST play them. Failure to do so results in a penalty. A renege is a failure to play a card that could have been played. A player may correct a "go" call before either player pegs a point or before the opponent plays a card. Thereafter, when a renege card is played, the opponent may claim a renege up to the time he or she plays the next card or announces the count of his or her hand. Any cards played after the renege occurs or the pegging of a "go" shall be retrieved by both players, and any points pegged (or scored) are retracted. The non-offending player receives two points for each card that singly could have been played. The nonoffending player decides if the reneged card(s) will be dead or played. Play continues, and all cards in both hands and crib are counted. For example, if the count is 25 and a player whose turn it is holds A, 5, and 6 and does not play any of the three cards and says "go," that is a "triple regnege," and the opponent gets six points (two for each card). Confused? Play all your cards to 31!
Playing at home skunks can be set up however you want. Playing in official ACC tournaments, the 'skunking' rules are layed out in the rules. It uses a scorecard and you get zero points for a loss, 2 points for a win, and 3 points for a skunk (for any win of 31 points or more). Double and triple skunks only count as skunks. Join a local club and play with friends and keep pegging! www.cribbage.org
ptmelnyk, this hand is hard to see without having the cards layed out on a table. Get the deck out and place all of the 3s in a large square and place the 9 in the center of the square. Now we know that each pair of the 3s is going to equal 15 and we already know that the quads of 3s equals 12. Start from the top left corner and work clockwise one card at a time:
3C 3H
9
3S 3D
So here is the scoring:
3C + 3H
3C + 3D
3C + 3S
3H + 3D
3H + 3S
3D + 3S
That is 6 different and distinct combinations of 15 which equals 12 points + 12 points for the quads=24 points.
Scoring a four of a kind does equal 12 points. The reason for this is that it is actually 6 different and distinct pairs. You get 2 points for each pair and there are six of them in a four-of-a-kind. Just like there are 3 pairs in trips, which scores 6 points.
Tracy, that is one of the harder hands to count. When you encounter them, sometimes laying the cards out in a square helps. Here is the breakdown:
The 9 plus the three 3s is already 12 as there are six fifteens and three pairs for 6 so that in itself equals 12. Then there is the 9/6 which also equals fifteen, so we are up to a score of 14. Then there are the three 3s and the 6! That also equals 15. The total for this hand is.....16 points. A very good score indeed. (Let the boys know that if they had two 9s and the three 3s they would have had 20. For fun, have them count 6, 6, 3, 3, 3 and see what they come up with. That is one of the hardest hands to count in all of cribbage!) Keep Pegging!
We are about to hold our first tournament and would like to limit playing time to two hours. We anticipate maybe 12-16 players. What type of setup could we anticipate completing in approximately 2 hours? Thank you
